Needing a late check-in (ie after 9.30pm), the hosts were more than understanding and very welcoming once we arrived. Very straight forward in showing us to our room.
Breakfast was marvellous, and hosts warm and friendly

Paula and her husband are lovely hosts, the room is well appointed with a large bay window. The bathroom even features a comfortable bathtub. Breakfast is delicious and served in an attractive conservatory that looks out on a private garden. Highly recommended.

The location was awesome and the decor created a great atmosphere to stay in! Lovely and well kept with easy to understand how-to guides for all amenities.
Lovely little place, we enjoyed our walks around the area...
Lovely little place, we enjoyed our walks around the area and relaxing and watching the boats etc. Very easy to get to, loads of eateries and pubs. If you like Yachts and boats then you will be in heaven, but even if you dont theres still plenty to keep you occupied. Its also very easy to move around the island from Cowes whether you drive or use the bus service.

Easy to get around on foot.
Easy to get around on foot.
Some lovely local produce & traders as well as the usual High St stores all in close proximity.
Lots of good local friendly pubs.
Osborne House(connection to queen Victoria & Albert) is within walking distance with a 2 minute trip on the floating bridge (£1.50 return ticket)-this is a National Heritage building.
Distinctive Royal mail postbox still in use here & if you use it, the postal stamp with reflect the Victoria & Albert connection.
You can visit the tearoom & gift shop but need to pay to enter gardens & house.

I know Cowes well because my mother in law lived there so...
I know Cowes well because my mother in law lived there so for many years I regularly visited her and stayed in the town. Since she died I have not visited as often and hadn't been to the Isle of Wight for two years until I stayed this autumn. It was a quick visit, but the shops in Cowes and the waterfront areas and town beaches are always interesting. I wouldn't stay quite as late in the year again as many places shut at the end of October or by early November, and if they're not shut completely they can be quiet and shut early (eg some of the out of town shops). Even the Cowes shops were beginning to wind down about 4pm on the Saturday and there weren't many people about. So do go but the warmer months and early autumn are probably better as there's more going on and there are more options. We ate at Mojac's and the Pier Inn, both excellent places for evening meals. The Pier Inn is also a pub but has a separate dining area. It was nice to go in pubs and for them not to be crowded but they do shut bang on 11pm.

Easy access to Osborne House in East Cowes.
Easy access to Osborne House in East Cowes. Really worth a visit! The island is very small and so one can drive round it and see lots each day.. Everywhere on the island is less than 35 minutes from Cowes (in October). Lots of good restaurants in Cowes.

We love the Isle of Wight.
We love the Isle of Wight. Beautiful island and I feel so safe there. We ate at The Coast which we thoroughly recommend. Tremendous atmosphere.
When we didn't use our car we used a local taxi who were brilliant and never let us down.

We enjoyed our visit although as it was the Isle of Wight...
We enjoyed our visit although as it was the Isle of Wight Festival during our visit traffic queues and road closures were in abundance. We spent a lovely day at the Big Cat sanctuary which was fairly empty making it a good opportunity to see the cats and talk to the keepers who are all so knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Great visit. There are lots of shopping facilities, great views and lovely little hamlets and places to visit around the island. The park we stayed in was peaceful but had easy access to Cowes and to the ferry port. Friendly people and we enjoyed great weather.
Lovely little B&B place close to the centre of Cowes. Parking outside, lovely room with big windows, spotlessly clean and beautifully decorated. Breakfast was delicious! Hot and cold options served overlooking the garden. Paula is a marvellous host, going above and beyond to make our stay comfortable including giving us a lift into town in the rain and sending back a forgotten charger free of charge. One of the very best B&Bs we have ever stayed in, we loved it!!
Hotel was in an excellent location with beautiful sea views, but it was the staff that truly made this hotel exceptional! From the reception staff, through to wait staff, nothing was too much trouble and they were always happy to help or provide suggestions. We took my mother for her 70th birthday and it was a wonderful few days that we will remember for sure. Thank you for your wonderful attention to detail and making this occasion truly special for us.
It's so unique and it made our trip. Isle of Wight is beautiful but was made particularly special by our stay at Ward Avenue B&B. The hosts were incredibly accommodating, gave us great recommendations, brought a delicious breakfast to our cabin (vegetarian options available), and helped us enjoy our stay to the max. The room was cosy but not small, and I can't recommend it enough.
The bed was the best part of the room - large, quite comfy, crisp and clean sheets. The restaurant and bar downstairs were good on days when everything in town was closed (Sunday night and the Queens funeral on Monday). The staff were all nice. Bathroom had a small tub, a nice bonus.
Situated in the heart of Cowes, literally just a few steps away from one of the main passenger and cycle ferries between the Isle of Wight and the mainland. Great food served at the pub. Bedrooms spacious. Excellent value for money (£54 paid at the very start of the season at Easter).
The room was clean, spacious and very nice comfy bed. Good amenities, lots of extra towels/ hangers and cabinets. Nice location very close to town. Cowes is a good choice to stay lots of restaurant open until late night and pretty place too.
The Villa Rothsay is in a wonderful old house with a strongly nautical theme - a very pleasing decor.
Margaret is an outstanding hostess and nothing seemed too much trouble for her or her team.
The breakfast is an absolute treat
The Villa Rothsay is a unique boutique hotel in Cowes steeped in sailing history, it has been family owned and run for decades. The character, position, service and breakfast are all first class. A gem and amongst our favourites.
This place is a fantastic find in Cowes.
Everything about this new hotel is wonderful
Fantastic location, staff incredibly helpful, rooms spotlessly clean and really, really quiet.
I’m that impressed I had to book a 2nd night
In a country location close to Cowes and near many Isle of Wight attractions. You will need a car but the parking is provided. Directions on SatNav are incorrect but owners will provide correct directions.
Great little guest house, located near the centre of Cowes. The rooms are spacious, clean and comfy and the breakfast is excellent. i always stay here when visiting for work!
Food excellent, room very spacious and well maintained. Hotel personnel all very friendly and very helpful. Would stay there again. Brilliant views of the solent and ships.
What a nice surprise. The home was impeccable and like brand new. Very spacious with all the luxuries of home. The hosts couldn’t be nicer and we didn’t want to leave.
Lovely, clean spot in a nice, quiet location only a couple of blocks from the shops, restaurants of West Cowes. Delicious breakfast. Looking forward to my next stay!
